Wow, sorry for the misinformation. I misremembered. Yes, I'd definitely choose a Fairphone over an Xcover. (I did this time). The Xcover is very repairable compared to most phones but still a pain in the ass (plus locked bootloader) compared to a Fairphone.

Combination of gpt-4o for lyrics, and Suno for songs made me and my wife pretty much stopped listening to regular music over last year.

I will try your idea to create a bunch of Spanish and Italian (2 foreign languages I was/is learning) songs to see how well it would work for me.
You don’t need an intrusive banner on page open. You just need consent.

If the user is saving a setting like a language preference, just put “by saving this preference you agree for us to store the setting” next to the option/OK button (it’s really implicit just like their shopping cart example, but this is if you want to be really paranoid)
I think it's a failure to solve 1 + x = 2. x is the percentage of the power grid controlled by this system, which has risen over time.

So at design time, the threat is just that people can turn off street lamps, which you can do with a BB gun. Then you expand to home solar. Also not so interesting.

But then you expand to be a significant fraction of the grid supply and load. Now there is a substantial target that actually needs security, but which requires a full redesign.
There's always a deselect all option (or rather, the equivalent "accept only the technically required ones"), because it's required by law. Sometimes the operator tries to hide the option. That, too, is illegal.

I assume SLS’s shelf life is limited and we’ll be using Starship end to end within 5 years or so.
What OP is asking for is being able to reach in amongst the billions of weights within the model and in some sort of systematic way tweak those weights.

From my limited understanding of AI, we don't have traceability on the weights so we have no way of knowing which weights affect which outputs. Until we get AI which is able to fully explain how it arrives at specific results we just keep screaming into the void.
There is much to reflect upon from these interactions (I thoroughly enjoyed every moment—thank you, HN!).

As a recent graduate from a developing country, I am truly grateful for the valuable insights gained.
Or different interpretation: languages that don't have IDEs with the feature set and productivity of Java IDEs are leaving a lot on the table.

I understand but why would an open Mac help with a Python interface?

EU cant deal with single use e-cigarettes!
Just think about how much e-waste they generate, for years nothing has been done about it.
On the contrary: when recently Polish government considered banning them, they have stepped down because it would require notifying the EU(also "lobbying" aka corruption. One person present at the meeting when the matter was discussed couldn't recall on whose behalf he was there, but treated to sue if called a lobbyist).
In terms of value stored my wild speculation is that whatever shady business is going on with tether will eventually implode and the contagion will be extreme. People have been saying this for 10 years and nothing has happened yet so who knows.

But in terms of the network itself failing there is really not much you can do.

Fight club / Mr robot style terrorist attacks are pretty much out. Maybe a major nation state would have some success but I doubt it. States might have success sowing confusion by compromising core developers and pushing software updates to nodes that do damaging things. I don't see this totally killing the network though.

Banning through legislation needs to be done across all or large majority of nation states which I don't see as being realistic. Though maybe as the environment faces increasing catastrophe this will become more possible.

Quantum computer attacks can be defended by relatively trivial forks that everyone involved has a reason to support. I think you can even do Lamport signature stuff today with the pay-to-script-hash stack machine language.

Maybe someone finds an exploit in sha2 and launches a surprise attack. That would cause significant damage. I would guess the network would fork itself onto a secure hash function quickly enough.

If someone takes out the internet for good that would probably kill the network.

In all of these scenarios there is the possibility of restart if the conditions killing the network revert.
A first thing to test would be that your voltages are nominal, but the exact details depend on how many phases are coming from the transformer, how they are wired, and whether you are on a TT, TN-C-S or other kind of grounding system, which depends mostly on where you live. Also, you need to take your voltages both at low impedance (simulates a load) and at high impedance (negligible load, "classical" meters are generally high impedance).

Generally, you want to measure the voltage difference between live and neutral depending on the load. However, depending on the tools you have access to, taking this reading properly can be a bit tricky both because simple high-impendance multimeters can easily be tricked by ghost voltages caused by bad connections and inductions from other cables, and also because understanding what to measure requires knowing how is the electrical system wired.

If you know you are in a TT system with 240V between Live/Neutral, I can tell my procedure for inspecting neutrals. In a two-pole TN-C-S system with 120V between L1/Neutral and 240V between L1/L2, I suppose it would be similar, expect that we'd have to do more tests (both L1 and L2 to neutral, and I imagine also L1 to L2).

EDIT: a first simple check to do is to check, using any multimeter, if there is voltage drop in your office when the hairdryer is in use.
Unfortunately, after a few years lack of security updates will also force plenty of users to upgrade.
Yes, I absolutely read cover letters. But I work in Germany which has different customs around applications, so maybe that's the reason.

We get a lot of low effort applications so I look for something why the candidate wants to work at our place. Did they research the position at least a bit before applying? Do they have an idea about the work, and does it mention how they can contribute?

If it looks like copy-paste or completely AI generated, there is a big chance that it goes to the round storage bin.
You're a bit uncharitable here. Bitcoin isn't only a financial system for illegal transactions, it's also (the only?) financial system for legal transactions that Visa and Mastercard won't touch. I'm not very happy of living in a world where payment processor monopolies decide what you can buy or fund, and if Bitcoin helps working around them, long live Bitcoin.
But, scripting languages are not programming languages, scripting languages are made to run commands, and by default a script should halt if a command fails, at least in the CLI execution context. The problem is, scripting languages mix programming context and scripting context, so a condition written in the script shouldn't be treated as a CLI exit status. Anyway, I don't use fish for scripts just for the lack of exit on command error. That's essential while scripting.

It would be cool if we could at least park it for a few years until we can bring it back down in Starships.

Maybe Bezos would help fund those missions, even if they used Starship…
Now those seagulls and pigeons won't be able to nest there anyway.

Yet another example of bureacrazy attempting to protect one thing ends up destroying two or more.Given enough time they will destroy everything.
Same as it ever was. Not a lot of Irish, Norwegian, English, French, Germans still keep in contact with ‘home’ after 2-3 generations either.
I don’t sell my services. My income comes from affiliate links on some pages (e.g. for choosing a first bank). A vast majority of the content is not monetised.

I noticed a drop in traffic, despite having added a lot of valuable guides this year. The traffic per page is way down, and only for Google.

You are correct that people don’t pay for this, even when they email me and I personally assist them. There’s just an expectation that things on the internet are free and that’s fine.
Teach me your ways.
The problem is misrepresented in online discussion. For example, typical argument is that EU doesn't have TOP10 companies by market cap and US has half of it but when you think about it market cap doesn't mean much and even if it did it would have ment capital concentration which is not a good thing by European culture. We don't want to have some ultra rich giant companies when everyone else tries to survive by the scraps, we actively try to redistribute wealth and are proud of our better gini coefficient. Europe is so not into this stuff that the "startup guys" of Europe on social media who are raving for accelerationism are just small businesses with a revenue of a restaurant on a high street but they think that they are early stages of Musk or Bezos. They just don't get it.

IMHO just look at the stuff you care about and forget using proxies like GDP or market value etc. For example, US has the largest companies by market cap but they are excited to have Taiwan opening a plant in USA that will produce chips on a few years old tech when Taiwan and Korea have the cutting edge stuff.

Examples are numerous, it goes above and beyond everything. China is not behind US in AI, in fact in some areas US is already trying to catch up. Tesla has enormous market cap but Chinese brands already displaced them in actual product sales. Americans think that self driving cars will be ready to go mainstream soon when China already has those disrupting their taxi sector.
Apple is about to become $4T company but Chinese and Koreans have all the cutting edge tech and Apple is faltering.

In military front USA boosts about how much money they spend on military only to find out that they are just paying more than they should and can't match Russia on ammunition.
Hmm. Are those situations more likely than forgetting to put the gear down? (Serious question -- I don't know the answer, and I'm curious.)
So in that highly configurable and scriptable environment you can't create a macro like sout that expands to System.out.println, really?

Also, if it can't even import symbols automatically, then it sounds like a tool problem. Java is like one of the simplest languages, it has no fancy features, has sane imports, ultra-stable tooling, etc.

The point of an IDE is to improve productivity. And I think you just haven't seen someone who knows the ins and outs of an IDE fly while writing Java there.
Take some agency for yourself.

That agency includes interpreting the search results alongside the reply to your original comment.
I know we’re not supposed to whine about the medium but focus on the content. However, on Medium, the medium becomes the content because I can’t even read the damn thing without being accosted by some CTA popover. This is my quiet crusade against authoring on that platform.
Apple decided to siphon user photo derived data without prior consent. The purpose, capacity and risk of said data being in others’ hands we are expected to take their word for. All while not informing users in advance or trusting users to themselves decide to start the siphoning. By doing this they have violated some users trust.
Letting your patronising ad hominem fly by, do you really think people behave the same in hackernews and in real life ?

Or that asynchronous written communication is the same with in person conversations ?

Anyway, I will stop replying now. You have brought this way off topic.
Oh come on. Emacs is not that buggy. For a piece of software that's been developed for over forty years it's quite surprisingly stable. Most of the "bugs" I see are due to some tighter integration between different packages - someone upstream would change something that inadvertently breaks things somewhere else. It doesn't happen that often.

Also, Elisp isn't really that bad. Well, sure, Common Lisp of course is a lot nicer language, and of course, not having any good concurrency story doesn't add any points, still, Elisp isn't so horrendous.

That being said, I do really hope Lem would get traction, and people start building plugins for it. Alas, realistically I'm not sure how feasible that would be. Replicating anything like Org-mode, with tons of extensions may take many years. Lispers however are known for their tenacity and ingenuity, who knows, maybe it wouldn't take too long.
That is not 100% correct. The wording (https://www.europarl.europa.eu/RegData/docs_autres_instituti..., page 55) is

“portable batteries incorporated in appliances shall be readily removable and replaceable by end users or by independent operators”
Apple is not a person, they don’t “believe” anything.

As a corporation, they “calculate” what they can say without getting into more trouble than they’re willing to entertain.
That source makes claims that its data does not actually back up - that road infrastructure is actually paid for by user fees, while only actually providing data that highway infrastructure is paid for by user fees. Highways are clearly not most road infrastructure.
why not Fennel?
What makes it better? Last I checked, the specs were objectively worse.
If most information on Facebook is private, it’s because everything else gets spammed to hell. Same with discord. They are not a replacement to public, curated information put out by relatively knowledgeable people.
The bullet point list was perfectly fine then it goes full retard with the following paragraph, which implies that people who are enthusiastic about programming ("write a technical blog" or "contribute to open source") only are because it's their job.

Bunch of "barbeques and ball games" people only in for the money. Reminds me of this quote: "Computing has always been personal. By this I mean that if you weren't intensely involved in it, sometimes with every fiber in your body, you weren't doing computers, you were just a user."
The nearest neighbour search is sharded, which apple's blog admits is a privacy issue, which is why they're running the DP and OHTTP parts.

If apple were to add additional clusters that match "sensitive" content and endeavour to put them in their own shards distinct from landmarks, they defeat the homomorphic encryption part while still technically doing it.

The DP part can be defeated with just statistics over time; someone with any volume of sensitive content will hit these sensitive clusters with a higher likelihood than someone generateing noise injected fake searches.

The OHTTP part can be defeated in several ways, the simplest of which is just having a clause in a non-public contract allowing apple to request logs for some purpose. They're paying them and they can make up the rules as they go.
Oh sure, I do apologize, just wanted to know if the numbers came from somewhere or if they were a wild guess. Thanks for bringing up the references.

The difference is drastic indeed. I almost would qualify for Jeju Air.
So I often use Github Copilot at work usually with o1-preview as the LLM. This often isn't "autocomplete" which generally uses a lower end model, I almost exclusively use the inline chat. That being said.. I do also use the auto-complete a lot when editing. I might create a comment on what I want to do and have it auto-complete, that is usually pretty accurate, and also works well with me since I liked Code Complete comment then implement method.

For example I needed to create a starting point for 4 langchain tools that would use different prompts. They are initially similar but, I'll be deverging them. I would do something like copy the file of one. select all then use the inline chat to ask o1 to rename the file, rip out some stuff and make sure the naming was internally consistent. Then I might attach additional output schema file and the maybe something else I want it to integrate with and tell it to go to town. About 90% of the work is done right.. then I just have to touch up. (This specific use case is not typical, but it is an example where it saved me time, I have them scafolded out and functional while listening to a keynote and in-between meetings.. then in the laster day I validated it. There were a handful of misses that I needed to clean up.)
Jesus that publications list looks like one hell of a drug trip.

> Are there split keyboards that preserve the standard layout of the home/end/pgup/pgdown cluster?

There used to be. I have a Microsoft keyboard[1] that works just fine using a PS2 <-> USB connector. Unfortunately I lost the PS2 <-> USB connector (which, IIRC, was an active converter, not a passive one) so I don't use it any more.

I use a standard mechanical keyboard with the standard US layout, and have not noticed any discomfort after 25 years or daily driving the standard layout.

[1] This particular one - first gen model: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_ergonomic_keyboards#... - although if you browse that entire page you'll see that there are newer models.
I think it depends a lot on what llm and tooling you have access to.

I had great results prototyping agents at work for specific tasks and answering in a specific style including asking appropriate clarification questions.

But at home with just free/local options? I've nowhere near the same settings to play with and only had very mixed results. I couldn't get most models to follow simple instructions at all.
Unemployment benefits cover 60% of your income for up to 12 months. It’s more sensible to find another appropriate job than to work in a low wage job.
Package hierarchies are used during class loading from a directory, but there is nothing in the spec that mandates that kind of directory structure for the source code. Your link only uses the word "might", not "must".
While I may disagree on the overall trajectory and importance of some of these topics. I really appreciate your response, in spite of my semi-aggressive earlier responses.

I think it’s false to think that the value of these companies is just their salary. It’s about experience. Many of today’s businesses exist because their founders were given the chance to gain experience somewhere else. I can’t expect the next Volkswagen to come from a country where entrepreneurship is constrained to starting a bistro.
Runway info: [1]. No mention of EMAS. There are chevrons at each end, but EMAS markings are not yet standardized internationally, which ops.group complains about.

Homomorphic encryption is something I heard about through a research paper a few years ago.

Back then I understood that an operation like SUM would be able to compute the sum of a list of numbers where each number was encrypted. The way the encryption worked made it possible to add all the values together without decrypting them, and the result ended up being encrypted too in such a way that the owner could decrypt it and have a number with a certain known accuracy.

If Apple is using homomorphic correctly then there should be no way for them to see the data they get from your phone. The other things they mention in the post as ways to prevent leaking of other information through metadata or a side channel.

The fact that this feature was enabled by default isn’t exactly great. Definitely should have been something that the user should have been asked if they wanted to enable after upgrading.

Good work OP!
I think the implied definition of success is that somebody who invested $1000 into Bitcoin 15 years ago is now worth $103B. https://www.bankrate.com/investing/bitcoin-investment-worth-...

Of course, you would still need to be able to either pay for stuff with Bitcoin or convert it into fiat currency to realize the claimed gains.
Two-factor authentication with pass and oathtool (2020)
When I see posts like this, I think either I'm doing something wrong or they're doing something wrong. I never wrote hundreds of applications. When I'm looking for a job, I investigate a couple of companies where I'd like to work, write a handful of thought-out applications, and generally get at least a response, in most cases an invitation for an interview. Granted, I have a university degree but I guess many people here have one, too. I also live in a medium-sized German town, but if anything that should make it harder to find a job, not easier.

Isn't there right now a shortage of skilled tech workers? I feel like right now the hiring criteria in many places is "whoever comes through the door". I know we'd probably hire anybody who knows how to code, is reliable, and can work in a team.

I could have had someone replace the battery in my Moto G%+ a couple of years ago. But it would have cost at least 800 NOK (about 80 USD). Instead I bought a Moto G30 for 1 200 NOK (about 120 USD) which has a better camera, faster processor, and more storage space.

Mobile phones haven't yet reached the point of diminishing returns on power, cameras, etc., so it doesn't yet make economical sense for an individual to keep the old devices working. I have kept the Moto G5+ and I use it as an internet radio and to listen to podcasts so it isn't a complete waste. Unfortunately the battery is now in such a poor state that I have to keep it on a timer to cut off charging frequently to avoid overheating.

Android could of course make batteries last longer by giving the user control over the charging regime.
Oh don't worry about it, I haven't perceived as that aggressive.

Just because you have a weapon, does not mean that you are forced to bomb a school full of children. And an hospital. And a refugee camp. And a journalists van. And humanitary NGO staff preparing food for refugees

It was their decision and only their decision. Israel are adults and could decide anytime to proceed according to law.

They instead killed as much children, and journalists, and doctors, and nurses, and volunteers as possible. They destroyed trucks of help aid and food, knowing that people were starving at the other side of the fence. And they toke selfies smiling happy in front of the rubbles in the most sadist and disgusting way possible. They even killed some of their own kidnapped people.

They don't even seem to regret the damage done to the image of Jews in the entire planet. They will be shinning happy for this, as long as the tourists don't stop visiting the country and buying silly souvenirs.
